"Crew Ejects Unharmed as B-1 Bomber Crashes on Training Mission at Ellsworth Base"

A B-1 Lancer bomber from Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota crashed during a training mission. All four crew members ejected safely before the crash, which occurred while the aircraft was attempting to land. An investigation board has been set up to determine the cause of the accident. The B-1 has been a key part of the U.S. Air Force's operations since the 1980s, with a shift from nuclear to conventional missions in 1994, and has seen extensive use in combat since 2001.

Private Sector Meets Demand for Infantry Training as Ukraine's Civilians Prepare for War

As the war between Ukraine and Russia continues, civilians in Ukraine are taking it upon themselves to train in military tactics and infantry skills. With approximately one million Ukrainians either in uniform or employed in government agencies supporting the war effort, the line between civilian life and military service has blurred. Many civilians are voluntarily practicing fire and movement, marksmanship, and other military tactics at privately-run training bases across the country. These training facilities, funded by donations, cater to individuals who want to be prepared to defend their homes and potentially join the Armed Forces in the future. The lack of resources and trainers from the government has led to the rise of civilian-led training initiatives.
